emails from Janet at Luton Airport. She has flown form US overnight to get this flight. Brian is supposed to be picking Sandie and Janet up from Mahon... read on :-

Hi 7am here. Found Sandy. We are definitely delayed, but no info yet.We'll call when we know the expected arrival time. They will only give us more information at 8am GMT. Speak later Janet

We think we will be there 11.30. Check the Monarch website. We will phone from the plane. Boarding now.

No boarding!

Half ten next update. Sandy’s sozzled. We are with Terry. I must sleep. V. Tired.

Next update 1030am. They cancelled all other flights. So, we wait for now. Sandy seems ok.

We are not on the cancelled list on that site. Which is good. So far.

Next update 1145 they say. I don’t know what’s worse, the flight delay, my jet lag, or this gaggle of excessively loud screaming wimmin getting tanked waiting for their trip to Tenerife. And I have 30 dB earplugs in.

Flight cancelled‏Though they still have not made the official announcement. Will keep you advised.

We don't know anything. Nothing has been communicated. It is chaos. No Announcements and no monarch staff to say one word.

No news.We are cancelled. Rescheduled for tomorrow. Same time. Long story over bottle of WHINE?

Sold more stuff today. Coffee table to the new people, brilliant as it is a nice one and we have what we paid for it. TV too as it is too big for that sitting room and I have been told it might not work in UK. Made money all round. Waiting for bookshelves to go and also to sell dining table and chairs.

Not much happening here in Menorca. Weather still bad, now cold. Can't wait to put a line of whites out. Washing is behind but who cares. Books in boxes. Clothes next. Dog last.

No writing, had two short stories rejected. Must get down to it at the villa.
